Your Brother in Law is named Little Sorrel?

George Thomas. Let's start there. Let's honor George Thomas. John Pemberston. Oh, and let's not forget Farragut, gotta get the Navy in there.

*Raises hand*

That, and Lee grew up poor. He derived his wealth from the estate and the slaves he inherited through his wife. He wasn't going to do anything to make him poor again. Guess he didn't think Meigs would go and use Arlington House as a spite cemetary.

True. I can't help but think how incredibly disappointed he would have been by the South. Then again, he was also incredibly naive about how the war would work until about 1862.

No, he's just wrong.

Here's Lee's letter on slavery that he wrote in 1856. I think you'll find it an elucidating read:

The worst part is that Lee's main objection to slavery was that it made him less of a good Christian. Not that it was bad for the slaves, that it hurt his relationship with God.

The only slippery slope here was the one Lincoln started us on in 1865 with his "Let 'em up easy" crap.

You must excuse them their flights of fancy. The North is a very dull place.

Really? How many? Who put them up?

Triggered? Ha, says the guy wringing his no-doubt doughy and lily-white hands over Confederate Participation Trophies put up to remind white men they're men and black people to stay in their lane. I'm really not much of a cryer, BTW.

Actually, the only person I've called a Nazi today is you.

African Burial Ground & Museum in NYC.

Ahh, yes. North Carolina. The state with the highest rate of enlistment in the Confederacy. Also had the highest rate of desertion. And it's own state navy.

We already did in NYC. It's of a fat man with a tiny penis. Don't know what happened to that statue.

No clue. Only heard about it on the news this AM. I knew there were plaques to Lee at Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn, but that's not surprising as he served there before the Civil War. I'm sure he's mentioned somewhere at West Point as well as he was commandant there and graduated second in his class with zero demerits.

Oh, I know plenty about you, Closet Nazi. I know you think you have a decent grasp of history but don't. I know you have some serious disappointment issues in your life but instead of looking internally for the cause, you blame others. I also know you're a Nazi and fuck right off.

Maybe it's because organizations like the Knights of the Golden Circle and the Sons of Confederate Veterans put them up during Reconstruction and the early part of the 20th century to remind black people to "stay in their lane" as the kids say today. Stop acting like it's to actually venerate the common Confederate…

I find it hilarious that people like yourself only acknowledge that the Soviet Union played a part in World War II when you can use it as a dog whistle. Otherwise, you act as if the US singlehandedly won the War for the French and Brits.
